WASHINGTON, April 18 (UPI) -- The U.S. Treasury is expected to announce this week that its plan to prominently feature a woman on the $10 bill will change in favor of replacing former President Andrew Jackson on the $20 bill.

Instead of making a historically important woman the main image on the $10, relegating Alexander Hamilton to the back of the bill, the founder of the United States' financial system will likely remain key, with a number of other important figures or slices of U.S. history on the back. An announcement is expected later this week, an anonymous U.S. official told CNN.

Last year's announcement of a proposed overhaul of the $10 bill to feature a woman quickly found a national audience eager to suggest appropriate honorees -- former first lady Eleanor Roosevelt and female leaders of the suffrage and abolitionist movements were often mentioned. Fans of Hamilton, and of a currently popular Broadway play based on his life, Hamilton, also weighed in, saying the less-popular Jackson should be replaced instead.

The announcements could come this week, but results won't be seen in American wallets for years. The Advance Counterfeit Deterrence steering committee, comprised of Treasury, Federal Reserve and U.S. Secret Service representatives, must design and execute a variety of anti-counterfeit elements on the new currency. And because of counterfeit deterrence procedures it won't be until 2030 that new bills will enter circulation.

"The blue security stripe on the $100 note took over 15 years to develop," CNN's source noted.

I think it's a good idea. I'd like to see Harriet Tubman on there.

Hamilton had some good points on how to arrange the new US economy early but being a banker and starting the bank of NY and not learning from Smith's 'An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations,' was not the father of private banking. He instead favored the USB (a national central bank) which was to lend to the Fed, govt. and serve the favored elites.

This was one of Jefferson's biggest quarrels with Hamilton particularly how it also fostered the federal govt's central powers.

Jackson was a butcher and slave owning whore who never made a dime with real work. But he was for the little guy and against the banking elites...which they were.

They could get rid of both in my mind and put women on both the ten and the twenty.

Jackson never did any work.
Why would the new people both have to be women?
Does being a woman automatically qualify them?
If they put Hillary's picture on a bill it should be the $3 bill.
